Gwyneth Paltrow warns of the dangers of cell phone use and WiFi radiation

(NaturalHealth365) Gwyneth Paltrow uses her weekly blog to share her insights and tips for a better life. In a recent post the 43-year-old Hollywood star has shared some invaluable advice with her readers on the dangers of cell phone radiation.

Writing on her blog, Goop, the mother-of-two has written an article entitled: ‘Are Cell Phones and WiFi Signals Toxic?’. She says it’s almost impossible to remember a time without smartphones.

Can one celebrity help wake up the world?

She writes: ‘The scientific community’s rumblings about brain cancer and the new-to-us affliction “electro-sensitivity” are worth exploring, at the very least, so we tapped three experts in the field.”

‘To help her readers understand the complicated and messy world of cell phone and WiFi safety,’ Gwyneth Paltrow consulted Dr. David Carpenter, Ann Louise Gittleman, and Dr. Devra Davis on the issue.

Cell phone radiation exposures have been associated with many different types of cancer, the best known being brain tumors. The relationship is simple, the longer the hours of cell phone use, and years of use, the greater the risk of cancer.

Industry claims are false, low power does not mean cell phones are safe

The truth is that talking or texting on a cell phone uses the same kind of electromagnetic field radiofrequency radiation as a microwave oven. The telecoms industry often argues that cell phone emissions are not dangerous because there isn’t sufficient power involved. But studies show it is the continued exposure to these low level emissions, which may be the problem.

Studies show children are nearly 4x more at risk of brain tumors compared to adults

Dr. Devra Davis of the Environmental Health Trust says, “current Government limits do not account for the unique physiology of children”. Current FCC safety recommendations are 19 years old. These safety recommendations offer safety limits calculated on a 6 foot 2 inch male body. They do not take into account the shorter arms, thinner skins and greater fluid content of children and young people.

Added to this the brains and immune systems of children are still developing – so even low level exposures can interrupt normal brain or reproductive development. Dr. Davis explains, “those differences will cause children to absorb relatively more radiation”.

WiFi can be just as dangerous as cell phone radiation

Ann Louise Gittleman explains that, “with time, communications technologies are getting more powerful and tremendously more complex with changing patterns of biological exposures.”

The first generation of WiFi, which was introduced in the late 1990s, had a data rate of 2 Mbps. Third generation WiFi, introduced in about 2002, had a data rate of 54 Mbps. Compare this with 5th generation WiFi, introduced in 2012, which has a data rate of 3 Gbps – that’s 55x faster than the 3rd generation!

Dr. David Carpenter comments, “a WiFi computer classroom where 30 kids are on wireless laptops all receiving from one large router, will result in significant exposure to everyone in the room”.

How to protect yourself from EMF exposures

1. Make your bedroom a “safe haven” from EMF exposures. Unplug and disable all electronic equipment for better sleep and regeneration.

2. Remove all forms of wireless from your home, including WiFi and cordless phones. Replace with a hard-wired computer connection and a corded phone.

The key point: Take action today

It’s not that hard to deal with your EMF exposures. Often it is just a matter of changing a few habits and making smarter choices about how and when you use technology. Yet, due to habits, many people put off making these changes to their lifestyle.

Dr. Davis comments, “I believe that people are waking up to this issue more than ever before. Once they understand how simple it is to reduce exposure, they start making safer choices”.

Glad to see when a celebrity speaks up, because people may then pay attention.

Kelly Hansen

This is good and it may help. The pictures of celebrities with cell phones in their hands is what the public gets to see. They tweet and text their loyal fans from wireless devices and as such are doing a disservice to them.

We need more people in the celebrity and political world to not only expose the danger, but understand that there is one.

Heather P

I am glad she uses a blog to share health tips instead of just useless information.

Bertha Hauser

Radiation as well as high serum mercury levels can cause thyroid disease. Now, we have to worry about both of them working together to disrupt thyroid function.

NOLIKEO

I usually get info from health sites, like this one. I am old enough to do my own research. But there are segments that may need info from stars in order for it to be credible. (I already knew about this before she was telling people)

Alan Thomas

Screen tests, movies and TV don’t qualify person as experienced in anything except screen tests, movies and TV. Good for her if she is trying to learn something about health and EMF, but Lloyd Burrell is no subject matter expert, either.

Yes, people prefer to listen celebrities then scientists, but it is good that some celebrities speaks up things about what should be aware everyone!

Bev Taylor

I am hitting up all the schools in my area ( to start with ) to educate them on the EMF’s that our children are being exposed to ….can’t eliminate them but I have access to products that can help neutralize the effects 🙂
